Ana is the leader of the Grove now that Sylvan is dead. But
the Grove is dying, and will not sustain the people for much longer. And now
they’re receiving a message from La Montana promising, well, a lot. The people
want to go, so Ana travels to this new place on a recon mission. Her mission
raises more questions than answers, though, and the people of the Grove are
already in transit.

This is a simple story of survival in a post-apocalyptic
Earth, and the way they make this story cool is in the details. The Grove is a
small group hiding in a big world that mostly wants to eat them. And Ana is the
War Mother, with the skills and tools to protect them. The art also gives us a
fascinating blend of wildlife and ancient technology that adds more levels of
detail.

If you’re into great characters in cool stories with amazing
worldbuilding, you can’t go wrong with a Valiant book in general, and this book
in particular. Go pick this one up.
